I know I am commenting to myself again....

Well boys and girls, it occurs to me that this is a space combat game. 
All
space combat games thrive on conflict.	That means wars, ect.  If you
had a
game where everyone had a nice day, no one was hurt or even dirty
words....It
would make for an extreamly boaring space combat game.	Therefore if
someone
wants to game out the americans coming back to attack the NAC (win or
lose),
let'em.

If you look to real history, it is filled with some of the most
unbelievable
reasons peaple started wars.

So it stands to reason that the americans could attack the NAC....Thats
why I
listed that possibility.
